Reading together is fun in Rainbow Class! Please bring your reading book to change every Tuesday morning. We ask all parents to come in and read with your child on Tuesdays 9 am – 9.30 am and to help them to choose a book. Talk to them about the books they like and which stories have been their favourites this term.
This term we have been learning about the story of Mr Gumpy’s Outing by John Burningham and the children enjoyed acting out the story in a boat outside.
In March we read the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff . Rainbow class loved this story which you can find online and in the Idea Store Whitechapel. We drew a story map of the story together and children acted out the story with words and actions. In our outside area Rainbow class role played the story with puppets and their own block bridges. They were encouraged to draw pictures to help them to retell the story. Children have made concertina books about the story and parents can come in to read their children’s own Billy Goat Gruff stories on our Mark Making display.
